How delightful to have TAMU Press invite me to do a second book of fine art aerial photography! The working title of the new book is "Amarillo Flights: Aerial Views of the Llano Estacado" by Paul Chaplo. Now we turn our airborne lens toward the Llano Estacado region of Texas in a far-ranging visual adventure to capture the many moods and textures of this amazing land! The vermillion-colored caprock canyons, Canadian River, salt lakes, breaks, and historic sites beckon to explore this land of wind and sun. Meanwhile our book Marfa Flights is available from the press bookstore, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and your local bookseller: http://www.tamupress.com/product/Marfa-Flights,7882.aspx

It was a pleasure to present to an overflow audience at WTHA Annual
Conference 2016 thanks to our popular session titled "Trails and Roads Across
Texas." We were honored to have our session chaired by Glen Ely.

My co-presenters Sylvia
Mahoney and Barbara Brannon shared information-packed exciting papers about famous Texas trails and roads. Then I shared aerial photographs and historical information about the scenes from Marfa Flights: Aerial Views of Big
Bend Country my book published by Texas A&M University Press.

WTHA provided a unique opportunity to sit down and talk with Glen Ely the author
of “The Texas Frontier and the Butterfield Overland Mail, 1858–1861"
(University of Oklahoma Press). Glen spent 25 years researching the stagecoach
trail and locating tracks, ruins, and artifacts in the field. Here we
are looking at topographic maps on my iPad and scoping-out the old
stagecoach trail in the area of my upcoming new book Amarillo Flights: Aerial Views of Llano Estacado Country to be published by Texas A&M University Press. I can't wait to see what old tracks may be visible from the air! More soon...
